The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa
At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in
Detroit, Porsche is introducing two new models to the 911
range: the 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S. These models are
the first to combine the classic Targa concept with cutting
edge, innovative roof technology. Just like the legendary
original 911 Targa of 1965, the new models feature the
distinctive Targa roof bar, a movable front roof section, and a
wraparound rear window. But unlike the classic 911 Targa, the
roof segment can be opened and closed at the push of a
button. The fully automatic roof system stows the Targa top
behind the rear seats.
mph when equipped with a manual transmission and 182 mph
with PDK.
Alongside the 911 Targa, the all-new Cayenne Platinum Edition
and Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition was also on display for the
first time at a motor show. The Cayenne Platinum Edition
models are based on the Cayenne and Cayenne Diesel variants.
The Platinum Editions offer many of the most-requested options
as standard. Externally, the special status of these models is
demonstrated by exterior detail accents in Platinum Silver
Metallic, with an exclusive two-tone standard interior in
Black/Luxor Beige.
Both 911 Targa models exclusively come in AWD version,
featuring the wider rear track and body, and the same Porsche
Traction Management (PTM), found in all 911 all-wheel-drive
models. It is an active all-wheel-drive system that helps to
ensure the optimal distribution of drive power for optimum
traction in most road scenarios, whether on long straights,
through tight corners, or on surfaces with different friction
coefficients. The combination of the wide body, the Targa bar,
and the wraparound rear window results in an extremely sporty
and low-slung profile.
The 3.6-liter V6 engine in the Cayenne Platinum Edition delivers
300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque and sprints from zero to 60
mph in 7.4 seconds. The Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition has
a base MSRP price $63,300. The Cayenne Diesel Platinum
Edition is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine with
240 hp and reaches 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. Â Both Cayenne
Platinum Edition models are now on sale at Porsche dealers.
Fresh from its World Premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show,
the Porsche Macan S and Macan Turbo was also on display in
Detroit.
The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a horizontally opposed 3.4-liter
6-cylinder engine with 350 hp. Equipped with the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono package, the
911 Targa 4 accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds
and is capable of a top track speed of 174 mph (175 mph with
the manual transmission). The 911 Targa 4S delivers 400 hp
from its 3.8-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine, and
accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds when
equipped with optional PDK and Sport Chrono package. The
911 Targa 4S is capable of reaching a top track speed of 183

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup first drive review
While you could hardly call any of them beige (or off-white or
bone), the German sports car maker has developed a cupboard
full of variants of its iconic coupe with, in the
previous-generation Type 997, more than 20 different models,
ranging from the standard Carrera through Turbo and Cabriolet
versions, as well as the Targa, road racer GT3 and GT2
versions and countless limited edition spin-offs.
improvements designed to make the car easier and faster to
drive and cheaper and quicker to repair.
Like all 911 variants, the GT3 Cup has an additional 100mm
within its wheelbase that ensures it is more stable and is
powered, for the first time, by the latest direct-injection 3.8-litre
flat six that produces 338kW at a dizzying 8500rpm and drives
the rear wheels through a mechanical limited slip diff. As it is
with the road-going GT3, the Cup car has ditched its manual
gearbox for a paddle-shifter transmission, but rather than being
a seven-speed dual-clutcher it is a race-bred,
pneumatically-activated six speed developed specifically for the
track.
At last count, there are already 14 variations of the newest
Type 991, and the latest to arrive in Australia is the 911 GT3
Cup, the pure-bred racer that will take to the track for the 2014
Australian Carrera Cup championship.
It is the most focussed - and selfish - 911 variant of them all, as
you can only purchase one if you commit to racing in the
series, being left-hand drive it obviously can't be driven on the
road and it only comes with one seat.
With more lightweight materials in its construction, and a
stripped-out cabin complete with a full roll cage, racing seat
and all the safety gear required for competition, the GT3 Cup
tips the scales at just 1175kg - which is lighter than most
city-sized hatchbacks.
Despite that, it is already a sell-out success with Porsche Cars
Australia filling the entire 25-car grid before the season
commences at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide on February 27.
That much is evident even before I even jump behind the wheel
for an eight-lap stint around Sydney Motorsport Park, when I
fling open the carbon fibre door that feels as light as a feather.
Like most race cars, getting in to the cockpit is hardly an
elegant process as I contort my body through the roll cage and
drop bum first into the low-slung and tight-fitting race seat.
Its popularity is not surprising considering the Cup car is
actually cheaper than the road-going GT3 on which it is based,
costing around $260,000 including a package of spare parts.
The Carrera Cup attracts big names such as V8 Supercar
drivers Steven Richards, Warren Luff and five-time champion
Craig Baird and is the most successful one-make series in the
world with Porsche building more than 2300 Cup cars since it
was introduced in 1993.
The latest version brings some of the most radical changes
ever introduced to the competition, with a range of
